Animal Hospital-Newton Conover

My visit recently - I was very scared for my dog, Raven. The vets managed to get me in at short notice and stayed late to ensure raven was going to be okay, they are always so caring with my animals. Visit from 2020: Nursed my kittens broken leg, exceptionally caring staff, always easy to get an appointment.

Stay away from this vet place!! WMy husband took our puppy there for her first check up and she got her rabies and such. Almost $300 later my husband comes home with pills for her. Under the impression it is to get rid of her worms. Well I began to give them to her to find out her hair starts falling out. Mind you, my husband said the lady was one of the rudest ppl he has ever met. Then I started researching the pills and here they are not for worms but for a UTI infection. It can cause hair loss if allergic. My fault as to I should have googled before giving any to her. No one said anything about her having a UTI at all. I called them today and the same woman my husband said was cruel said he refused anything. Which is not true. The lady's name there is Cortney M and I will be calling the Better business bureau. What was a $300 bill if he refused anything?! 🧐 🤔 Interesting if you ask me. This woman talked to me like garbage. She said the medicine cannot cause hair loss. I told her I called and talked to a relative that works at a vet hospital up North. She went crazy talk like a lunatic. That is not okay. Definitely not a place I would take any living animal.

This is the best veterinarian clinic I have ever gone to. Their staff is amazing from the receptionist to the vet text to the veterinarian herself. They take time to explain what's going on with your animals And give you different options for treatment.

Our kitty Elijah had a Warble Fly embed a larvae in to him. It's a term for the larvae, or maggots, of a group of “warble flies” that infect small animals like rodents, rabbits, dogs, and of course, cats. With that being said, the staff was great and the Vet was very informative! Any questions that I had, she was more than willing to answer them for me without making me feel as if I was an inconvenience and I really appreciated that. What really set the bar is when the office called to check on out little buddy after his surgery to see how he was doing! No complaints and this facility is highly recommended by me. I will have all of my animals needs taken care of from this point on!💜🥰💜

The staff was very friendly that I met the day of the appointment. They told me Lady had Lyme disease and Hookworms. Gave her meds to start. Gave her a rabies vaccination. Also had me start her on flea, tick and heartworm pills. She ensured me she felt Lady was on the road to a full recovery to me and my little girl. We trusted that was all to be done. However 5 days later our pet died. She was a stray I had rescued and there is no way of knowing how much damage had been done to the kidneys. (That really should have been explained to be so that I would be prepared) She felt ok the day I took her, then day two lethargic. I called the vet immediately she said not to worry that's to be expected. Day three felt ok again, day four lethargic again I called the vet to ask what to do, nobody returned my call. (This was unacceptable) Day five very lethargic I picked her up and she died in my arms. I was devastated, mad and confused. The treating vet called me today and we discussed Lady and not knowing how long ago she may have contracted Lyme disease. It is fatal if it goes too long and affects the kidneys. I researched it more and even fluids would not have helped. It's called Lyme Nephritis/Kidney Failure. I do believe this is what killed her. If you search on YouTube there is a vet discussing it with a dalmatian and that is exactly what Lady's body looked like. Moral to this extremely sad story is don't tell someone you expect a full recovery if you aren't 100% sure. Also vaccinations are available for Lyme disease, make sure your dog gets it.
